Assessment 2 – Congestive Cardiac Failure 1. Mr Wright’s admission states that he has CCF (congestive cardiac failure). Clearly define CCF. What organs and which body systems are affected by this disorder? Congestive cardiac failure defined Congestive cardiac failure (CCF) is a progressive disease of the heart‚ which involves loss of pumping ability by the heart. Congestive cardiac failure occurs when the myocardium loses its ability to pump enough blood to meet the body’s metabolic needs and is

Describe the Cardiac Cycle The Cardiac cycle is a description of the activities that take place in the period from the start of one heart the next. The conducting system autonomically controls the heart beat impulses it is also called the cardiac conduction system or the nodal system. It is made up of six main components the sinoatrial node (SA-Node)‚ internodal paths‚ atrioventricular node (AV-Node)‚ atrioventricular bundle (AV bundle) or bundle of His‚ bundle branches and Purkinje fibres.

CONGESTIVE CARDIAC FAILURE Congestive cardiac failure is defined as “the state in which the heart is unable to pump blood at a rate adequate for supplying the requirements of the tissues with function parameters remaining within normal limits usually accompanied by effort intolerance‚ fluid retention and reduced longevity” (Denolin‚ 1983‚ p. 445). Congestive cardiac failure or heart failure continues to be a major public health issue worldwide. This paper is a case study report about C.B‚ a 60

Cardiac surgeons are people who do treatments and surgeries to treat people with heart and lung disease. They also deal with vessels and organs. There are a lot of different types of operations. There is heart valve repair and replacements‚ heart defect repair‚ coronary artery bypass‚ aneurysm repair‚ heart transplant‚ lungs (lung disease). They complete the most surgeries in their field. Grey’s Anatomy influenced me because in that show it’s a bunch of different types of surgeons and I liked cardio

My career goals are to work within cardiology or a career that focuses on cardiac sciences. The occupation I hope to attain is Cardiac Physiologist (CP). Work values are characteristics of work that are important to one person’s job satisfaction and fulfillment. I am aware that I value other components in the workplace environment more than others. The components I value and prefer more are learning and skill development‚ ethics‚ teamwork‚ structure and client contact. Work values provide a sense

The change of voltage than opens the gradient of NA which allows many to go in and then a K+ channel has to open as well to get it back to its normal stage. The heart beat occurs due to an electrical impulse that moves through the system of the heart. We can insure that the electrical impulses occur through the EKG. The electrical impulses are important because the voltage is what allows for the pacemaker to beat quicker or slower. In the heart Action potential proceeds around the

Heat Conduction along a Composite Bar Objective To study the conduction of heat along a composite bar and evaluate the overall heat transfer coefficient. Theory Thermal conduction is the mode of heat transfer which occurs in a material by virtue of a temperature gradient within it. A solid is chosen for the demonstration of pure conduction since both liquids and gasses exhibit excessive convective heat transfer. In a practical situation‚ heat conduction occurs in three detentions‚ a complexity
